Tomorrow's The Big Day

[jaysleever 61]

Well Well tomorrow is finally upon me and I am to report to the hospital at 10am Monday. I am currently on my 2nd day of liquid diet and I am a diabetic so I had to stop the glipizide per my doctor. I currently take Metformin and juanivia. I was told immediately following the surgery I will discontinue my diabetic medication all together. Am I nervous? Not the way I thought I would be Im just concerned how well the anesthesia hits me. I was told they will introduce meds first to relax me make me drowsy and memory loss so as to i would not even remember why im in the hospital to begin with. Then they will introduce the general anesthesia later on. But I feel fully confident in the hospital and surgeon. From what I understand they do these surgery's on a daily routine basis. The first week upon discharge I will be with family for support and encouragement. How I feel about this process is that I am having the procedure to save my life. Being that I am on medication for diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, GERD. So I will have this procedure now so I can keep my toes arms and legs from amputation. Because that's what eventually will happen. So I am getting the tool needed for a new lease on life with the implementation of permanent dietary lifestyle changes that will include exercise. I want to be able to purchase those clothes that because of my weight had to pass up constantly for many years. So yes I am saving whats left of my life at 47 years old.

thank you

Hope your surgery went well. I am 16 days post surgery. Everyday gets a bit better. Sitting here at my 2 week apt. Hoping to get news about advancing my diet but not sure how that will go.
